after a nasty time being partly dug out of his lock on lazer took an opportunity, pulled out his tube and retreated further into the system, respect
there is no malice from either side underground, surface stuff and trees can get a bit tetchy, especially surface stuff
underground everyone is playing a safe as possible "game", a serious game, but done sportingly, either side could make it very dangeroos but that is not how it is. the mib refused to do it that way decades ago, and we do not do things that way(it would be easier to be the T word by any means necessary, but it is not the way to win the hearts and minds that need winning)
property, obstruction etc is very different to lives
my way is a mix of overt/covert politics, counter intel, overt obstructions and whatever that can be done without harming anyone physically. seems ethical to fight without killing.
quality i do not know him, youngster, but he gets a medal from me for that action.
somehow i forgot to mention another fallen comrade who retired through ill health at an early age and died of natural causes, good chap, ex menwith, who came over to the light side of the force after learning what he was doing.
hi gchq you know this stuff so i dont care |

There are ways, as you say Nick, like tidal power. So far, to the best of my knowledge, tidal and wave power haven't been utilised commercially to any great extent in the UK.
You are right Jema, and in an ideal world, that wouldn't matter. Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world, and people as a minimum, need what they need at a price they think they can afford. If another country is producing something more cheaply by using some other form of energy, then importing it, all be it using nasty dirty oil powered ships, then it will be imported.
At last, renewable energy is being produced to an extent that makes it a viable energy source for most things, all be it that there are still 'storage' problems. Until there is a way of storing that energy that is convenient and reliable, at a reasonable cost, it won't be viable to use it to fully convert something like iron smelting to renewable electricity and hydrogen reduction.
While we, as DS, may be willing and able to make or buy hand crafted things with minimal energy input, most people aren't I am afraid. |
